Hammer Coral has not been happy for months now. I have tried dipping it and moving it around the tank but still no change

Sorry, I don't see any "unhappy" coral in that picture.

We will need a picture of the hammer coral, not just of your entire tank.
It's the rose gold in the centre, I tried to zoom in or circle but it wouldn't let me, just wanted to show that the rest of the tank is doing just fine

Ok, now I see it.

What makes you think it's unhappy? It just doesn't look as puffy to me, but obviously your conditions are right to grow hammers. With that being said, I am not sure what it is. Your tank like I have said before, is more than capable to grow hammers well. So, its either a disease or some sort of pest, and this all depends on how long it's been in the tank.

Yeah just because the heads won't grow and it is less puffy than all the others, I purchased it a few months back and I'm sure the heads were bigger at first, then my mate took it from me to see if he could get it back to all its glory but with no luck so I have taken it back its been in there just over a week now
